Welcome to the very first episode of The Marionette Dolls. This is our introduction to who we are, why this podcast exists, and what we hope it becomes.

In this episode, you’ll meet your hosts, Sarah and Crystal, and hear the stories that shaped this space. From lived experience with trauma, recovery, military service, and mental health to academic and professional goals in psychology, this podcast was built on the belief that education is power. Not power over others, but power over our own understanding.

The Marionette Dolls is a psychology-based, research-driven podcast that stays neutral. No politics. No religion. No agendas. Just honest conversations about the human mind, mental health, and how our past experiences pull our “strings.” Our goal is to help you recognize those strings and learn how to cut the ones that no longer serve you.

We’ll explore:

• Mental health topics through real research
• DSM-5 disorders in an educational, non-diagnostic way
• Trauma, coping, and healing
• How misinformation affects mental health
• Why thinking for yourself matters

This episode sets the foundation for everything to come, including our bonus series:

• Psychobabble – serial killer psychology and profiling
•  Quirkology: the strange habit files– rewatch and psychological breakdowns of My Strange Addiction as well as listener tails
• Glitch in the Matrix – conspiracy theories and the psychology behind belief

This podcast is about curiosity over judgment, education over fear, and compassion over shame.

You don’t need a degree to be here.
 You just need a willingness to learn.

Welcome to The Marionette Dolls.
Let’s start cutting strings.
